Again Hamas isn't Palestine.... further to that, Palestine isn't Saudi Arabia or Yemen. I doubt the LGBTQ issue is top of mind for any Palestinians actually. Hamas has to uphold a strong Islamic image, and like any Abrahamic religion, is opposed to homosexuality.
Had the Palestinians been free from Israeli occupation would they still outlaw homosexuality? It's tough to say. Perhaps they would have gone in a similar direction to laws in Jordan or Lebanon, which while not perfect, does not outlaw homosexuality.
Edit: looks like, similar to their neighbours, homosexuality is legal in the West Bank.
